INTRODUCTION.
Whatever obstructs the progress of science, ov ;lthrows a shade over the research of philosophy, is a ksubject of fair and legitimate criticism. Truth, phy- «ical, moral, or political, is the common property of so- fciety; and every member of the Uterary whole, may, ac- ipording to taste and ability, enlarge its bounds, or pro- biotc its interests. Where motive is ingenuous, it is commendable; and manner, though awkward, may be pardonable. But before we write, we should think; and before we publish, we should at least understand Ithc nature, if not the extent of the subject, on which \<yve are about to admonish the world. The pubMck, ihowever ready to learn, is impatient of unprofitable in¬ trusion. Vanity may invite derision, but knowledge lalone communicates information. .• f '¦'••a.
The man who conceives that the useof writing con- ffiists in the multiplication of books, mistakes the adula- iltion of private vanity for the approval of publick senti- iment. It is the pleasure or the caprice of tho many to write, the good fortune of tlie few to convey knowledge.
